What R you doing today?

[Hokapsig]

deliverd my daughter back to college and now that we're home, I've washed some filling equipment and a carboy. Getting ready to get the bottles out of sanitizing solution and on to the bottle tree. I'd like to start a couple more batches of cran pom wine, but lost Julie's recipe. ARGH....

Racked and degassed with food saver WE SI Aussie Petite Verdot, RJS Aussie Shiraz Cru Select Aussie Shiraz and a Showcase Walla Walla Cab Merlot. Also degassed a Homewinery Elderberry. That stuff is the gassiest batch I have ever had. Had to discontinue because my old food saver was getting hot. I'll double rack and degass tomorrow using the AIO.

Racked my cabernet sauvignon and zinfandel after pulling each out of my refrigerator. They were both cold stabilized. I am always amazed at how much stuff (tartrates) fall out. Also ranked my Norton and skeeter pee. Tasted a blueberry melomel, I was a bit surprised how little honey taste it has now. I suppose that will return after I backsweeten.

Here are some pictures of my work in progress. I am using 3/4" Oak Plywood and 1 x Red Oak for the trim pieces. I will use these two book cases in my library.

I had a meetup with RichMKE today. Rich is a very nice guy. We met for lunch, and exchanged a few bottles of wine from our cellars. I will have to document them in the "Other People's Wines" thread as I open them.
